Ancient Punishments Of women.

In the early days of England men were
too humane to hang women, but they
drowned them. During the reign of Henry
III, however, woman was hanged, but as
she did not die after being on the gibbet for
a day, they cut her down and she was grant.
ed pardon. Adulterous women and sor-
ceresses were drowned or smothered in mud.
Stones were fastened to their necks to pre-
vent their swimming, or they were scwed up
in sacks. Sometimes they were drowned in
company with cat, dog and snake.
The Anglo Saxons drowned women guilty Of
theft, The criminal was thrown from cliff
or submerged. In the Tenth century
woman was drowned at London bridge.
Women were punished by drowning in Scot
land. In 1899 Grissel Nation was con-
demned by the High Court of Edinburgh
"to be taken to the North lock and there
drowned till she be dead"
memorable instance OF drowning &C.
Cured at Bavaria, October IA, 1896. Agnes
Bernaurian, wife Of Duke Albert the Pious,
was dropped of the bridge Of the City Of
Strasburg into the Danube, by order Of her
father. She appears not to have been put
into sack, and her limbs not to have been
securely bound, for she rose to the surface OF
the water, and swan to the shose, crying
"help, help" but the executioner put long
pole into her hair and kept her down.
According to the Danish laws women were
buried alive for theft, method of punish
ment not unknown in France. In 1891 Ma
rote Duplas was scourged and subjected to-
this cruel death at Abbeville, and in I46o a
woman named Perotte Mauger, notorious
thief and receiver Of stolen goods was by
order of the Provost of Paris, buried alive in
front Of the gibbet in that city. In ancient
German history we read Of female criminals
being impaled in the mud, and in compare
lively recent years the remains of several
bodies have been found to prove the truth of
this assertion. In early England cook
once poisoned fourteen persons. The author
tiles did not believe they had a punishment
sufficiently severe for her case, so law was
passed making her crime punishable by be-
ing boiled to death.

munity, secluded from the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that ma
ture has remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acct
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a COM
paratively meao disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compi-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-"If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat
tiers which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. = And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup in less complicated
though 81 IN liar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable-with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex-
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri-
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filed
to overlooking, all resulting
from this alarming disease. It's
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache; a dull pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath; nau-
seous quotations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat; a sense of Cypress
ion and faintness at the pit of
the stomach; flatulence; wake
fulness and loss Of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weak from the need oft; sticky
or Shiny matter on the teeth or
in the mouth, especially on ris-
ing in the morning; furred and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet; constipation;
dry or rough skin; inabilityto
fix the mind on any labor call

and oppressive and sad fore
bodings and fears.

The Shenandoah Valley.

j. Fl. Wood, Co. G, 11th Ind, Bussey. Iowa,
resents with much warmth the charges made
against the Nineteenth Corps at Cedar Creek
by C6mrade Griffin in his recent article in the
interest of the Sixth Corps. He suggests that
Comrade Griffin ought to publish the whole of
his private correspondence for the edifcatiOn
of the Nineteenth Corps. He says the Sixth
Corps did not fire gun for two hours after the
Nineteenth Corps was engaged, and the Nine
teenth did not at any time during the day fall
behind the Sixth Corps. 1t was the universal
opinion that the Sixth Corps was very slow in
getting into position that day. He thinks that
no brave soldier would have written concern
ing his comrades as Griffin did.
w. nj. Tower vigorously disputes the claim
that the Sixth Corps did most of the fighting mt
Cedar Creek. He wants it understood that the
Nineteenth Corps was there, and had all its fin
gers and thumbs in the pie. He thinks il be-
haved in every respect as well as the Sixth.

ford, Conn, sends sketch of the cavalry opera
tons ut the battle of Cedar Creek. After de-
scribing the confusion which followed the at
tack in the morning on the Eighth and Nine
teenth Corps, he expresses the opinion that If
the Sixth had been in their place it would have
done just as they did. He inclOses the con-
gratulatory order issued to the Third Division
of the Cavalry Corps after the battle by Gen.
Custer, which has heretofore been printed in
these columns.
